Stainless Steel Filter Elements for Food & Beverage Industries

Stainless steel filter elements are one of the most commonly used industrial filter elements due to its excellent corrosion resistance and excellent filtration performance. It is widely used in a wide range of filtration applications, such as chemicals, high viscosity liquids and food & beverage industries.

According to the construction of the filter elements, we have pleated & cylindrical filter elements for your option to meet your specific requirements for filtration.

Stainless steel filter elements in different constructions
Benefits for Filtering
  • Elements are manufactured from 304 or 316 stainless steel wire cloth material
  • Stainless steel filter elements are easy to clean and enjoy a long service life
  • Stainless steel wire cloth is available in various mesh patterns, including square weave, twilled dutch weave, plain dutch weave
  • A full range of mesh opening sizes are available to meet different filtration demands.
  • Easy cleanable by conventional chemical cleaning
  • High temperature & high pressure resistance

Pleated Filter Elements

Pleated filter elements, also known as stainless steel pleated filter elements, are filter elements that adopts stainless steel woven filter cloth and stainless steel wire cloth as filter medium to form rugged high voids and fixed pore filters with good strength, heat-resistance and economic cost.

The pleated layers are normally two or three layers of woven wire mesh, together with inside perforated metal tube support. The outside layer of perforated metal tube is optional. The pleated multi-layer wire cloth filter layer offers extended filtration area and high dirt control capacities. Therefore, it is widely used in the field of medicament, food, petroleum, chemical and hydraulic oil filtration as well as water treatment, etc.

Cylindrical Filter Elements
Cylindrical Filter Elements

Each cylindrical filter element consists of a cylindrical perforated support structure. The filter media fits over the perforated support structure. We adopt stainless steel woven filter cloth as the filter media for efficient filtration while guaranteeing the adherence of the filter to the cloth. They are widely used in petroleum, plastics, electroplating, chemical, ceramics, sugar and other industries.
